Jude Bellingham says he was being used as a scapegoat after England failed to win this year’s European Championships.
Bellingham, who scored one of the best goals of the World Cup in stoppage time against Slovakia in the last 16, said on Tuesday his performance had been unfairly criticized.
“I have to be honest, I think after the Euros, when I played for England, I lost a lot of smiles because I felt a little bit abused compared to what I contributed,” the Real Madrid midfielder said The player said. “I think some critics were a little harsh on me. I felt like a scapegoat. Maybe I was feeling sorry for myself.
Bellingham joins the European Cup after a brilliant season with Real Madrid, establishing himself in the Spanish league and Champions League. He was also named the Spanish top flight’s player of the season.
He scored two goals in the European Cup. England lost to Spain in the final and finished second.
“I felt like I contributed some pretty big moments and in the end, after the Euros and especially three days after the final, it seemed like the whole world collapsed on me. “It’s not a pleasant feeling,” he said .
Bellingham had just helped England gain promotion to the top flight of the UEFA Nations League and posted on Instagram earlier this month that he had “got his smile back”.
This week he returned to his home country. Madrid will face Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday.
